Hey, love the look of this forum - will probably be on here quite a bit now the studio kit is up to scratch.

Yeah, basically whenever i try playing back much audio through multitrack mode in audition, that horrible stutturing sound comes up. I presumed it was something to do with the buffers, so tried messing around with them, but it basically made no difference (although i didn't really know what did what). When putting a few tracks into the supplied mix program that came with the card (cant remember what its called), the same thing happened until i switched it into ASIO mode, and they went away. I know audition doesn't have asio support, but surely there are people out there with a delta using audition? It does this even in the demo that starts up with the program, which i'd imagine is set to work on most computers :confused:

the computer is a fresh 3100 sempron with a gig of ddr and an 80 gig SATA on an nforce3 chipset, so there shouldn't be much in the way of processing issues... I was expecting teething troubles, but nothing that a few simple tweaks wouldnt fix :(

spent about 2 hours twiddling, so have probably screwed *everything* up now, but if anyone has ANY ideas i would very much like to hear them.

otherwise, hello, great forum, looking forward to meeting some nice people.

update:

the problem was to do with SATA (i.e. the hard drive) - turns out there's a problem with nforce [and possibly other] chipsets running the data using the pci bus, so that lovely stutter occurs whenever the drive is used. it's misleading though, 'cause you may or may not be 'using' the hdd when you think you are.

anyway, the motherboard replacement (and irritatingly, processor - drop in performance moving onto similar priced p4 from amd sempron) fixed the problem. I've you've got the same problem, try putting the card into a friends (or your) older machine without sata and see if it helps.

Just thought i'd update this thread as nobody else did :(
 
ya i have heard of similar issues.

so you have a p4 insted of sempron now? is that right? do you notice a performance upgrade?
